With Mirsini Artakianou (artist), Jenny Contreras (artist) und Camilla Spadaccino (project assistant)
While the women wove, their work often remained unseen. Which of your creations remain unseen? Even today, sewing and embroidery are often considered “feminine” activities. Yet these techniques continue to be passed down through families and communities. This workshop offers a space for people to come together, exchange stories, and create collectively. Everyone is invited to contribute through fabric, text, or form — no prior experience is necessary. Come along and join in!
This workshop was developed as part of the training course Art education and application training programme for migrant freelance artists. The idea was conceived there and chosen to be included in the public programme of the current exhibition.
Camilla Spadaccino (born in Milan in 1996) is a project assistant in cultural production. Her work focuses on socially engaged artistic practice and performance. She draws inspiration from DIY culture and artist-run spaces.
Mirsini Artakianou is an artist and independent art educator. In her work, she primarily creates installations that combine ceramics and textiles and explore themes that are best sensed rather than explicitly stated: structures, architectural forms, and the power of the sensory. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in “Art in Context” at the Berlin University of the Arts.
Jenny Contreras (born in Bogotá in 1992) is an artist and philosopher. She views art as a space for exploring ethical and political questions. Her media include video, installation, and performance. She is studying “Art in Context” at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK).
